    I bought this dress earlier this week and can’t stop thinking about it. It just fits sooo darn well.

    Lovin’ this vase!

    Scandinazn’s earrings are so much fun. They’re also made from recycled leather which is pretty neat.

    This necklace!

    Another purchase from this week – Steet Cats shirt! I couldn’t check out fast enough! Those are some of my favorite animals.

    Would you look at this swing table?! I’m picturing it in a big open loft. Ugh, love it!

    This rug!

    I just love Amber Davenport’s work so much.

    I keep coming back to these hand push pins over and over again. They’re so stinken cool. Just picture your necklaces hanging from them.

    How cute is this planter? It comes in a couple different colors as well.

    Super cute summer dress! Love the criss-cross straps on the back.

    Link love…

    • Beetle washi tape!
    • AH. I love this lunch bag!
    • This black romper is simple, yet so so cute! Pair that with these sandals (that, yes, I never quit talking about!) and you’re good to go! Summer uniform!
    • I’ve got major heart eyes for this beautiful watering can. (PS. I’ve got a ton of other great plant related finds here – just click ‘plant love’)
    • I just can’t resist anything, especially a shirt, with an eye print on it.
    • Love love loooove this striped jumpsuit!
    • You really can’t go wrong with a black and white polka dot dress.
    • This bralette! That color is so pretty.

    Happy Friday! xoxo

    by Kaylah Stroup July 3, 2019

    The first stop on our epic road trip, after the World’s Largest Truck Stop, was Mel Gould’s Buryville. We’d been on the road for nineteen hours at this point so it didn’t matter that the rain was pouring down, we were just excited to get out of the car. When we pulled up I was …

    This post contains affiliate links. Check out our disclosure policy for more details. How neat is this floating picture frame? I’ve never seen anything like it. It’d also be really easy to put some string lights behind and that’d be rad! A shirt you can buy if you already own five hundred black and white …
